I've sent my Samsung S22 to official Samsung service center.
The device was encrypted and secured with pattern/fingerprint but they were able to take full backup of the phone and restore it with pattern/fingerprint disabled. How did they do that?

Wow, I thought they might have something like that..
Why else would they require customers to send their devices to a samsung specialist just to reset a password. It`s an encrypted drive also and only the owner should have access but it seems samsung does too.Sending a device via post just for a reset seemed odd and suspicious.

@stefek54 Thanks for your comment, it`s good to know.....

It would be foolish to think that mobile phones don`t have backdoors, software and hardware ones. What kind of a world you think we live in, people? Only YOU care about your privacy, not anyone else, let alone asshairs like gooble or shitsung.
